In this male-dominated age, some women are toiling hard to make the underrepresented and talented individuals such as them known among the masses. However, eradicating such old paramountcy requires a lot of hard work and investment of time.

According to a source, only 15% of the women are involved in bitcoin trading which indicates that women’s activity in the crypto sector needs to increase substantially. To make this possible, Amy Matsushima founded “Women Of Crypto” to empower and encourage women to participate in the cryptocurrency business.

Furthermore, Amy is also into the cars and boats rental business which makes her one of the most influencing, sharp, and empowering women in the crypto trading sector. All thanks to “Woman Of Crypto” Amy is finally achieving her goal— that is to increase the number of women in cryptocurrency to avoid getting raised eyebrows and surprised looks from people who see her prosper.
